Everyday experience and a wealth of research shows that more and more people are accessing the Web via mobile, whether through
a browser or any number of 'apps'. Each new set of results shows differences but the trend is all in the same upwards direction,
pushed along by the evolution of ever smarter, more powerful devices, and by mobile networks offering more and more generous
flat-rate data packages. Can any Web site do its job if it doesn't render well on a mobile device?

Web developers face a number of challenges:

how do you create great content for mobile?
